Disciples’ Literal New Testament
20 For Herod was fearing John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. And he was protecting him. And having heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and-yet he was listening-to him with-pleasure. 21 And an opportune[a] day having come about when Herod, for his birthday-celebrations, made a banquet for his princes[b] and the commanders[c] and the leading[d] ones of Galilee, 22 and his[e] daughter Herodias[f] having come in and danced— she pleased Herod, and the ones reclining-back-with him [to eat]. The king said to the girl[g], “Ask me whatever you wish and I will give it to you”.
